My second daughter Dana was born on Saturday morning. It's crazy how time flies. As Howard reminded me last Tuesday at the Teal Ovarian event, I bought this JLC GMT right before the birth of my first daughter Amanda. That watch was on my wrist during Amanda's birth as well. Now Amanda is almost two, and the GMT has just accompanied me through the birth of my second child.

Waiting for the princess to come, and wearing my trusted GMT.

The princess is here!

My watches remind me of those little (and big) moments in my life. There has been so much interest in the electronic wearable devices as of late, in response to the launch of Apple's iWatch. It is a bit ironic that I, who studied computer science in undergrad (a long time ago), am not overly excited about these high-tech gadgets. These gadgets might make my life a little easier or they might do something really cool or fun, but their values always decline with time and they never last. Unlike these gadgets, my mechanical watches will only become more valuable to me as I get old with them.
